PRAYING FOR RAIN.

When the churches OF this city held a
meeting to pray for rain, they commit
ted public act OF q unusual character.
and In so doing naturally attracted Oh
seryation to themselves. That Thu
matter should be commented upon and
given place In the news columns OF
the daily papers was inevitable destiny.
The churches are not above criticism.
nor are their actions beyond the judg-
ments that ligitimately attach to hui
man conduct or the transactions OF 30
cieties. That the prayers OF the San
Antonio churches did not bring rain
may. or NAV not have been their fault
1t certainly was not the fault of those
who did not join In that act of prayer.
and It is puerile to criticise them for
the failure, or for their after comments
upon 1t. The whole matter revOlves it
self into simple proposition. The
prayers Of the church can, or cannot
bring rain. II they cannot bring RAIN
then 1t Is wrong to teach that they can,
and deceive the people by a pretense OF
an influence over the forces of nature.
which the church does not possess. If,
on the other hand, the prayers of the
church can bring rain, and In this in
stance the prayers Of the San Antonio
churches did not bring rain, then it lie
msnifestly the fault OF the churches.
The rain was needed, they had the pow
or to cause 1t to fall, they attempted to
use that power and failed, and for that
failure they are fully oensursble. 1t is
simply can, or cannot. If they can, and
did not, it is their fault; If they cannot.
1t is not honest to pretend that they can.

NEW ORLEANS 9HUr UP.

The city ut the mouth oi the Missis-
sippi Is in trouble. Among the handlers
classifiers and weighers OF cotton are
two associations known as the "Old
Cotton mems council' and....the New
Cotton mems council" The new coun-
oil holds the key to the situation bnt will
not handle any cotton unless the old
O tuncil dlsbands and cesses to be. The
New Council holds In its membership
that class of skilled labor known as clss-
sers, which cannot be replaced, and so
the labor OF others who are perfectly
willing TO handle the cotton Is useless.
II Is not question Of wages, but OF ar
rangement among the cotton councils.
The cotton factors are powerless In the
matter. The compress companies are all
idle and there is no knowing how the
end will come, as the Old Council abso-
lutely refuses to disband and the New
Council will not do any work until the
Old Council surrenders. The cotro"
factors are like the clotn Fetweeu the
two councils come together 1t is the fac
tors who get cut. This is one Of the
most peculiar of the labor troubles that
has arisen in this country. A difficulty
against which no prescience or indus
trial wisdom, or cordial relations be-
tween labor and capital can avail. 1t Ia
one OF those difficulties between or
ganized associations OF laborers which
can only be adjusted among themselves,
ana in the meantime trade is paralyzed
and business at standstill. This is hard
enough under any condition, but when it
comes through no fault Of owners. be-
tween whom and their employees there
is only the best of feeling, 1t seems
dOubly unfortunate.
